Nope, just make sure you get a camber kit and a go to a reputable alignment shop and you'll be fine. I'm calling NAPA tomorrow to get a camber kit for mine so I'll let you know how much it is.

MAT2CH: Do you know what setup you have? I like the drop. Hell, I like everybody's drop...I can't make up my mind on what I want to do!

Since I bought it at a dealership they wouldn't give me the name of the original owner so I could ask him. I've been under it a few times and noticed it has Belltech leaf spring hangers, shock extenders and Hotchkiss Performance sway bars, but other that that I'm really not sure. It handles nice, rides smooth and corners like a BIG sports car. :-D

^^^ nice drop, but I think you should look into adjusting your exhaust

I used DJM 2" lower crontrol arms in the front with stock springs and Bell Tech 5 inch drop leafs in the rear. Used the leafs so I could still use my JDM traction bars. And I get 0 hop. Plus using the control arms it was easier to align and stay aligned. They are also set up for bags if I go that route which is coming soon.

Bell Tech does, or should I say they did in 2002. I got them from God Father Customs out of Atlanta.

You're bumping a 7 year old thread. My guess is that its about a 5/7 drop

 

[Headgames Dave]

7 year old thread that is informative!

So stock 03'. 54k miles. I freaking HATE the way it rides. I wanna drop it. But afraid it only gets worse from here.
From what this thread says, thinking dim drop spindle with frpp springs and belltech springs in the rear with a c notch. I tow with it too. My turbo Buick.

So how does this ride with the qa1 shocks? I think this would make a 3&5?
